About the Pub
The nearest real ale pub to the sea terminal, The Albert is an unspoilt local with many regulars. It has a traditionally laid out central bar and dark-wood panelling, with a pool table in one room and interesting historic pictures of Steampacket boats in the other. Sport on TV is a frequent feature but never loud enough to spoil conversation. The drinks are reasonably priced with resident beers mostly from local breweries Okells and Bushy's. Lively Karaoke on Friday evenings.

Historic Interest
This pub is recognised as having an interior of regional significance,and in addition the cellars are thought to be some of the oldest man made structures in Douglas.

Regular Beers
Bushy's Castletown Bitter
Okell's Bitter
